An SUV can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 10 59/100 seconds. A sports car takes 9 86/100 seconds to get from 0 to 60 mph. How much faster does the sports car get to 60 mph?
I'm not sure about this one but I think 127/100. Is there suppose to be a whole number? Because I make the 9 to an 8 but than it would be 8-10 on the whole numbers.
10 59/100 = 9 159/100
9 159/100 - 9 86/100 = 73/100
To determine how much faster the sports car gets to 60 mph compared to the SUV, we need to calculate the difference in their acceleration times.
To do this, we first need to convert the mixed numbers (with fractions) into improper fractions to make further calculations easier.
For the SUV's acceleration time:
10 59/100 seconds can be expressed as (10 * 100 + 59)/100 = 1059/100 seconds.
For the sports car's acceleration time:
9 86/100 seconds can be expressed as (9 * 100 + 86)/100 = 986/100 seconds.
Next, we subtract the SUV's acceleration time from the sports car's acceleration time to find the difference:
986/100 - 1059/100 = (986 - 1059)/100 = -73/100 seconds.
The answer is negative, indicating that the SUV is actually faster than the sports car. However, keep in mind that negative time values are not feasible in this context.
Thus, it seems there might be an error in the given data. The sports car's acceleration time should be less than the SUV's for it to be faster. Please verify the values and try again.
